Cleaning
Chimney cleaning removes creosote in order to ensure safe operation and prevent deterioration. Above All uses a guaranteed “no mess” cleaning method. First, we place tarps on the floor in front of the fireplace and in high traffic areas. The chimney is then cleaned from the bottom. We use specialized tools to clean the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, smoke shelf (behind the damper), and flue liner. This process can take anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour. The recommended yearly inspection will let you know if a cleaning is necessary.
Water Leak Resolution
We are experts at finding and fixing leaks. This service is perfect if a roofer has told you the leak is the chimney and not the roof. We have never encountered a leak that we could not solve.
Water Proofing
As odd as it may seem, water causes more damage to masonry chimneys than fire. Think about it for a moment. All the brick and other materials that make up your home are protected by the roof and eave, all that is, except your chimney. The chimney bravely sticks up above the roof constantly exposed to all the elements; rain, snow, and freeze/thaw cycles.A masonry chimney is constructed of a variety of masonry and metal materials, including brick, mortar, tile, steel and cast iron. All of these materials will suffer accelerated deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. Above All Masonry & Construction uses only the highest quality products in order to prevent this type of damage to your chimney. For more information please contact us!
